Is IPL Hair Removal Same As Laser Hair Removal?
Ive been using IPL treatments for hair removal. Is it the same as laser hair removal? I've had 6-7 IPL treatments and I can't really see any change in hairs. I'm light-skinned and the hairs are dark. If they are different, is it worth it for me to try laser hair removal? Should I try other clinics if they are just the same?

IPL vs LASER
No these terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean two different procedures.
I.P.L. stands for Intense Pulsed Light.
L.A.S.E.R. has become a word but actually stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Individuals respond differently to these modalities, which can be effected by pigmentation, hair density and color.
